I note that the defaults for scroll delay are set at 3.6 seconds which
is very painful for people with long titles.

Perhaps the default should be set to a smaller value for new users? I
use 1 second - and I am not a fast reader either!

Also bug 1126, default values for scroll rate and scroll pixels has not
been resolved. Increasing these values has hugely increased the quality
of my SB1 display. If these values were optomised for the 6.5 release it
would give the impression that performance of the server had increased!
